and Chapters 2-4 examine genetic analyses of hybrid zones, the evidence for reinforcement, and the nature and consequences of inlrogression in plants Part II includes a series of case studies These studies represent summaries o f long-term research programs that have focused on single hybrid zones or on clusters of hybrid zones within particular groups o f organisms I f this book were a complete compendium of hybrid zone research, many other well-studied hybrid zones would certainly have been included I apologize to those hybrid zone researchers whoseworkisnot represented here and hope that they will understand that it was time Copyrighted material vi PREFACE and space constraints (not the quality of their research) that led me to limit the dimen­ sions of this book Finally, I wish to express my appreciation to many colleagues and students (past and present) who have shared my enthusiasm for studying hybrid zones, bolstering my confidence that a program of research on hybrid zones is a worthwhile endeavor, am also grateful to the National Science Foundation Systematic Biology Program, which has generously funded my own hybrid /one research over the past 15 years* Ithaca N.Y July 1992 R.G.H Copyrighted material Contents Contributors Part I ix Hybrid Zone Pattern and Process 1 Hybrids and Hybrid Zones: Historical Perspective RirhardG Harrison Genetic Analysis of Hybrid Zones Nirhola* M Barton and KaiherineS Gale 13 Reinforcement: Origin, Dynamics, and Fate of an Evolutionary Hypothesis 46 Danirl I Howard IntroRression and Its Consequences in Plants Lorcn H Ricscbcrg and Jonathan F Wcndcl P a r l II Case Studies of Hybrid Zones 70 111 Natural Hybridization in Louisiana Irises: Genetic Variation and Ecological Determinants Michad L, Arnold and Bobby D Bennett IS After the Ice: Parallelus Meets Erythropus in the Pyrenees Godfrey M Htruitt 140 \ G e n o m i c a n d Environmental Determinants of a Narrow Hybrid Zone: Cause or Coincidence U£ David D, Shaw Adam D Marchan!, Nelida Comreras, Michael L Arnold» Fran Groctcrs, and BeriC Knhlmann 8, Nature of Selection in the Northern Flicker Hybrid Zone and Its Implications for Speciation Theory 196 William S Moore and JeffT Price Speciation, Raciation and Color Pattern Evolution in Heliconius Butterflies: Evidence from Hybrid Zones 226 ■lamre M a l W 10, Analysis of Hybrid Zones with Bombing Jacek M, S/ynmra 261 Copyrighted material viü CONTENTS 11 Hybridization and Hybrid Zones in Pocket Gophers (Rodentia Geomyidae) 290 JamcsJ Pattnn 12 Chromosomal Hybrid Zones in Eutherian Mammals Jeremy B Scarlc 309 Copyrighted material Contributors Michael I „ Arnold Department of Genetics University of Georgia Athens Georgia 30602 Nicholas H Barton Institute of Cell, Animal and Population Biology Division of Biological Sciences University of Edinburgh Edinburgh EH9 3JT United Kingdom Bobby P Bennett Department of Biological Sciences P o Rnv * w Arkansas State University State University Arkansas 72467 NftliHa
